Vyacheslav Volodin, a speaker of the Kremlin’s lower house of parliament, warned on Jan. 22 that sending additional offensive weapons to Ukraine “will lead to a global catastrophe.”
Volodin, 58, claimed that the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) continued support of Ukraine is pushing the world to a “terrible war,” noting countries that supply Kyiv with powerful weapons are risking their own destruction.
